I’ll never understand takes like this. You think humans are meant to be shuffling around a warehouse picking and packing orders mindlessly?

I get being annoyed at corporations for greedily trying to save money at the expense of workers, but ultimately, I can’t be that upset over shit jobs going away.

In my view, we have to be focused on how to help The displaced workers which we have historically done a terrible job of. It only becomes more important as we are able to automate more and more tasks that previously required a person. Automation absolutely can be a tide that raises all boats; we just have to demand that it be so. Otherwise, all the benefit will go to the oligarchs instead of the people.

$20 to a class member in one these suits would be an incredible “win.” I’ve never seen the individual award on a class action go above $2.

This is exactly it. I’ve worked with 2 different teams in this new era. One has all strong engineers and good review and testing standards. The other has 20% bad engineers that should have been fired years ago and’s weaker testing culture. The result is the strong team is delivering higher quantity software faster than ever, and the other team is going fast with much worse results. The quality is very bad, and the good engineers still there are quitting.

The good engineers spend their whole days just trying to keep the ship afloat and minimizing the harm from the bad engineers. They hate it and are burning out fast.

I have never heard a human write this, but I see Claude say it allllll the time

My impression of the folks cheering this on are mostly opposed to crypto on environmental grounds.

Personally, I’m more just weirded out by a policy like this. Even though I’m not a crypto fan, it seems like a really unusual hill to die on for an OSS hosting app.
